Title: Tangential control +-360 degrees
Post by: JiiPee on October 14, 2013, 06:52:03 AM

Hello

I use tangential control but I have wires and pneumatics going to rotate axis.

I use 2.5D cam and I cant´t get A axis values.

Problem is that tangential control is turning too much.  Wires and pneumatics is rotating to axis.

Is there any possibility to program tangential control so that it is not rotating over 360 in same direction?

I am needing to implement this same feature to limit rotation, did you find a way to do this?

We assembled pneumatics and heating element wires so that over 720 degrees turning is possible.

Way to do this, is buy good enough CAM-software where you can limit rotating axis.

Thanks for the reply, even though it wasn't what I wanted to hear.
I was hoping there was a tick box that I just hadn't found yet that said "Limit Rotation to 360deg"
Oh well, looks like a wish list item to be submitted.
Cheers!
